Where are you right now?

Help numbers depend on the country you're in, not on the site's language. We never ask for access to your location.

What you can do right now

  • If anything nearby could be used to hurt yourself, put it out of reach or ask someone to stay with you.
  • Message someone you trust: “I’m having a hard time. Can you be with me?”
  • You don't have to solve everything now. Getting through the next few minutes is enough.

Talk to a person

If you're having thoughts of hurting yourself or of not wanting to live, call a support line. They will listen without judgment. You can also call when things simply feel too heavy.

Choose your country above to see its support lines. Lines in many countries are also listed in the Find A Helpline directory.

Minor Arcana · Pentacles

Ten of Pentacles

Under a stone archway, an older person, a couple, a child and two white hounds share one place: belonging built over time.

By Tarot tradition: a mirror, not a verdict

The card Ten of Pentacles: a drawing from the 1909 deck in a velvet frame
The 1909 deck after drawings by Pamela Colman Smith (public domain).

Image and meaning

In the foreground, an old man in a richly patterned cloak sits with two white hounds, one lifting its head toward him. Beyond the arch, two figures stand close together, and a child rests a hand on a dog. Many lives share one place here, each in its own way. This is a picture of roots and belonging: a family by birth or by choice, a circle of friends, a place you call home.

The suit of Pentacles: body, work and resources.

Light and shadow

Support. The steadiness of belonging somewhere, among people and places that know you.

Worth noticing. Measuring your own home or family against an ideal that hardly anyone actually lives.

A gentle step

Thank one person, aloud or in a short note, for some small way they make your everyday life easier.

Gently. Belonging comes in many shapes; a circle of friends or a chosen family counts just as much as any other.

Across areas of life

Relationships
Shared life and shared history: the circle you belong to and help keep.
Work
Long-term structures: building something meant to outlast a single project.
Resources
Roots and support: friends, neighbors and familiar places that make life steadier.
About you
Knowing where you come from, and choosing what to carry forward.

Questions for yourself

Which people and places make you feel that you belong somewhere?

If you could pass on a single habit or value, which would you choose?
